  • One of my favorite stadiums in the US. It has it's own identity and isn't a cheap rip off of others like so many being built today.
  • Yes, I love Franklin Field. A unique beautiful old venue with charm. Seen many Quakers games here plus a couple of Penn Relays AND a U2 concert!
  • This was the site of the last Philadelphia Eagles NFL championship game, vs the Green Bay Packers, 12/26/1960. This game was the only time Green Bay coach Vince Lombardi lost a post seaon game.
